Big DH spoiler under the cut but... I am wondering...

Why didn't Snape's portrait appear in the Headmaster's office? When Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to the office and Harry talks to Dumbeldore's portrait, there was no mentioning of a portrait for Snape. He was appointed Headmaster of Hogwarts, shouldn't his portrait be there also now that he was dead like Dumbledore's when he died in HBP?

I've send

um, im guessing in a wasy they need to put up a frame thingie? i mean they didn't quite say how dumbly got his up there, just he appeared. But there was time after his death for arrangements to be made and maybe they Hogwarts Interior decorating team put up the frame or soemthing.

I dunno.

It was just minutes after Dumblesore's dead and when Harry went to his office (now Minerva's) and saw Dumbledore's portrait

maybe they just didn't mention it?

After all what he did to protect Harry because he was Lily's son? He so deserved a mention...

Well, firstly, let's hope that there was a portrait of him somewhere to begin with. Don't you have to have your portrait painted first before they can move from one to another? (When they get it hung, I'd like a copy.)

I checked when Dumblesore's appeared and it was almost immediatly after his death

Good for you! I hope it is answered too.

But he 'had' just died, that very day, didn't he? .... hmmmm but Dumbledore's portrait showed up that night, the night he was killed.

Good question, Ulol. I just figured that it showed up later on, as one of the more honored Headmasters.
